Barbi Benton And George Gradow – 43 YEARS
From being a model to a recording star, Barbi Benton is one talented personality who has a lot to offer to the entertainment industry. Despite her popularity, beauty, and blossoming career, she chose to retire in 1980 to focus on her family with George Gradow. Barbi was a famous figure due to her relationship with Hugh Hefner, the man behind the iconic magazine and brand with a bunny logo. In 1976, after ending her relationship with Hugh, she met George through a friend.
At first, they went out as friends, and later, their relationship developed into lovers. They got married in 1976 and welcomed their son, Alexander, in 1986, followed by their daughter, Ariana, in 1988. The couple is known to have a very private life as Barbie is no longer under the spotlight and George is working as a real estate developer. However, their marriage was heavily tested when George needed to hire an attorney and face his legal charges. Thankfully, their marriage withstood this trial and remains strong until today.
